@grivettcarnac that teeeible idea might actually be shelved (or double secret). The last budget included money for VIA to pursue that directly.. no mention of p3
I grew seedlings this year in a makeshift grow station in our basement, which is just one of those heavy duty plastic utility shelves and LED grow lights and I am so pleased with how (some of, at least) my plants turned out.
I started the seeds in takeout containers with lids to keep the moisture in, then opened them once they sprouted. I then graduated the larger seedlings to paper pots I made so they could grow even larger and now I am working on hardening them off over the next two weeks.
@johnefrancis@casseagull cage has 100% coverage because we have the most persistent critters. Err. Thst photo was from the last of this year’s raised bed upgrade. Fully enclosed now.
Have you considered that all you’re going to tell them with these podcasts is how you’ve presided over rent, food, education, and their very existence becoming so expensive they can’t live while also watching the world burn with endless war and climate change? Like what’s the pitch for more of the same? Fuck off Liberals.
We hear you like democracy which is why we promised badly needed electoral reform which is why we promised it and then refused to do it because people wanted a different version than we did
We hear you like your grandparents which is why we rentooled the entire economy to transfer all wealth towards them while also dismantling social programs so private corporations can take all their money leaving no inheritance for you
We hear you want a place to live which is why the infrastructure bank and CMHC are subsidizing builders to oroduce exurban mansions and, in generally, homes at the lowest level seen in decades rather than just building it ourselves.
We hear you like eating which is why we’ve asked the vertically integrated grocery oligarchs to sign a voluntary code of conduct where they only gouge you at or around a little more than the rate of inflation (after two years of double or even tripple digit increases)
We hear you like weather that isn’t going to kill you which is why we. Uhh.. plan to subsidize oil companies to pretend to build carbon capture systems and to also subsidize home owners (which you aren’t) to get new windows and uhhh… continue strip mining the country and not reducing our carbon emissions…
This makes me so fucking mad because my local small grocery store, the only place nearby to get fruit and vegetables, closed in December over a liquor license dispute - their square footage wasn't large enough to be considered a grocery store!!!! - and now the government is rolling out liquor sales to corner stores. Come the fuck on. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/alcohol-sales-convenience-stores-ontario-1.7213546
Dropping a random prediction: Trudeau will resign as Liberal leader this summer. Do I have any specific reasons for this? No. I’m a politically connected nobody. But he can stay on and lose to Pierre, even though he wants a no-gloves campaign against him, but why be another Harper, who knew he had no chance in 2015? I think walking away would be a clutch move for him and take all the wind out of “vote for us because Trudeau is the reason for X, Y, Z” #cdnpoli#canada#elections
@human3500@grivettcarnac from what I hear everyone sane is getting out and political staffers are reduced to ideologue teenagers who don’t care if they lose. Party seems intent on running into the ground and hoping for a quick rebound from PP.. I don’t think they understand what four years of fascist majority will do to even Liberals
